It was fun for the other side

You like one-sided battles? Even if you win them?

They are a total waste of time for everybody in the battle.

This entire topic is a waste of time. WG is never gonna adjust the MM. They don't care anymore and all they are gonna say is that it works as intended, it's all fair and balanced and 'sometimes thinks happen'. All these answers are complete and utter bull, but they keep handing them out anyway. Never have they given a serious, well argumented answer. Their entire model is based on the fact that MM is a RNG machine and with all the added fails of the last year the archaic piece of poo has lost any and all meaning. Look at the fail in the brawls, look at what that thing conjures in a random battle. They stopped caring like a middle-schooler stops caring about math because they can't make heads or tails from it. And now that the winter of this game is on the way, they surely aren't going to adjust any of it, they need all their attention on the last drops of money they can squeeze.

As was said multiple times. The MM was adjusted multiple times. The last adjustment was a few months ago...

 

But when one ignores everything, everything looks like this:

I assume you are referring to the recent change where the number of destroyers you could have on your team was restricted in the matchmaker.

Well, big deal. If that is the only thing they can think of to improve the matchmaker, then it just shows how out of touch the developers are.

So they changed out a few numbers, I bed it took a highly skilled programmer the better part of his working week to get that done.

 

But ok,  Ishould have made it a bit more clear, I should have taken the readers understanding into account and said 'not gonna adjust the MM beyond a small number change to add or subtract a certain class.' My bad, I overestimated the readers, I should have known better.

Nope, I meant the change to the number of uptiered battles, which makes it two changes in recent months...

Changing code is often about changing details, but you are right, nothing changed and you still get this:

It is all the same, Tier IX, Tier IV, no difference :Smile_facepalm:

I do not need a ticket and you do not need one either, since it all the same to you.

According to MarChil, it does not matter, it is all the same. We still have the same MM, so it makes no difference how old the screenshot is :cap_like:

Well, I have been playing since the Closed Alpha, and as far as I am aware, the game has always had +2 _2 matchmaking.

At least in Random Battles.

 

So perhaps you could enlighten us as to how and when Tier 6 could meet Tier 9?

2015 to, I think, early 2016. And no, it was not Tier VI, Tier I could meet Tier X...

 

And here the MM of 0.3.1.4 (Jun 2015)

Cleveland a Tier VI? Essex T9 CV? Must be rather old and the dear old colonel is trying to make a point about WG improving the MM sometime in a distant past. Because "if B comes after A, B must be the direct result of A" kind of reasoning.

So you have posted info from 2015 or 2016.

That is 7 years ago.

Here we are with Wargaming celebrating 7 years of the game.

Yet you produce info probably from the Closed Alpha.

 

The best thing you can come up with is to say: "Well, 7 years ago you didn't have it so lucky".

 

I am not impressed at all.

No, no, as you stated "WG is never gonna adjust the MM", they never did. We still have the same MM as 2015. You are completly right. You are the expert on MM changes :fish_glass:

That was open beta and you asked me a question, remember?

You also claimed that WoWs had always +2/-2 MM while also claiming to play since alpha...

Well, its that long ago, and my memory isn't that bothered.

 

Besides, I am not the kind of sad player that keeps screenshots from that long ago, just to push a pro Wargaming agenda.

 

But it matters jot nothing at what I say.

We all know you just exist on this forum to shout down any player that calls out Wargaming on any game matter.

English isn't my first language, but I'm pretty sure "is never going to" is not the same as "has not ever done so". And if you could quote me on the part were I claim to be an expert, it would be very helpful. Now, thank you for your valuable insights. I will certainly take it under advicement.

No agenda, just exposing the post-fact society. It is not my problem that you do not feel™ supported by me in your make-believe world.

You claim to know what WG will not do until eternity. You have to be an expert to know that. Or do you want to tell me that just made this up? :Smile_ohmy:

More like a voice against the loud minority of the post-fact society, that argues with feelings™ and make-believe and ignores facts. Who claim to have a bad memory or not taking stuff seriously when getting confronted with facts that disprove their feelings™.

I highly doubt they will last very much longer, so it's pretty safe.

If one repeats some predictions often enough, they will. One cannot fool entropy. Things that can end, will end someday.

Guess the decent players are still grinding the aniversary rewards in co-op ... since last week i see more sub 45% in randoms than 50%+ regardless of side, and man they love DDs and BBs so they can throw games fast.

 

At least it is easy to farm dmg on them, but the game is getting pretty boring when its allways the same potato tactic ... DDs rush to death and all die in max 5-6min , BBs camp far back missing their shots and getting fire farmed, Is ranked any better or its the same clow fiesta where you should kite and HE spam cause the meta is that boring crap.
